Vick Mena | Director, Curriculum
My name is Vick and I've been in the wild for over 25 years. I grew up at IBM working on the BIOS for the IBM eServer line in Austin, TX before moving to Wall St. I've worked on all phases of software development from low-level to middleware to UI but feel most comfortable in the middle. I also drank the devops kool-aid having moved a product line to AWS while at Dow Jones & Co with the help of an amazing team. I then pivoted into the secure space and worked on software/hardware reverse engineering. I always thought I'd eventually teach and this role lets me leverage all of my experience to lead this motley crew of passionate educators.
